Chaffetz Taking Pot Shots

Here is one of the things that concerns me about Jason Chaffetz. In this SLTrib article it talks about how Chaffetz took a public swat at the Governor in the convention, then uses the Governor's positive comments about Chaffetz in campaign literature.

Now, I think I understand why the swat - even at an incredibly popular figure like Gov Huntsman. Chaffetz is trying to position himself as not the establishment. Oh, and stridently conservative. District 3 likes that.

But there's more to being in Congress than campaigning. You have to work with people. You need friends to get things done. It doesn't help to take pot shots at the people you need to work with later. Sure, articulate your policy stance. But don't start public fights when you don't need to. You can say "global warming's a farce" without saying "global warming's a farce, but the Governor still believes in it!"

Oh, and Jason, why is global warming a farce? And how does that affect your policies? I'm looking for "I'm convinced global warming is a farce because X. This means that I don't support Y and do support Z." I looked on your website and didn't see anything on global warming.
